LVX d'Orsay

Press Sample 
Today I have LVX d'Orsay, a pinkish nude creme. I used a base coat of Cult Nails Get It On, 3 coats of polish and a top coat of Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That.

Point blank, sad panda, this polish was a pain in my neck. My first coat was so extremely streaky that I actually took it off, and reapplied my entire manicure. I thought maybe I had oils on my nails or something but nope, same result. The second coat started to even out the streaky but not entirely. Above is three thin coats of polish - the streaks are gone but I'm not 100% thrilled with the application and the appearance on my ring finger. I feel like I need a ridge filler on that nail. I used to buff my nails once a month but I haven't done it in at least 6 months at this point.

Okay so up side - pretty creme, nice nude, definitely office appropriate. Negatives - streaky application and needed 3 coats instead of 2.

ORLY Secret Society

Okay ORLY, I have a bone to pick. On the one hand, you're putting out some awesome stuff. On the other hand, it's hard for me to get your stuff! (Yes, it's sold at Ulta and Sally Beauty Supply - I may just be lazy). Like seriously, the Instant Artists are AMAZING. Speaking of amazing... let's talk about the ORLY Holiday 2013 Collection!

The 2013 Holiday collection may be a bit hard to find at this present time, but Lavish Bash looks amazing! All images courtesy of ORLY.

KBShimmer Winter 2013 Collection

When I first heard that KBShimmer was going to release twenty-two new polishes last winter, I think my brain went into overdrive. It's really 2 collections to me in one because one was a blogger collaboration and the other was new multichromes and multichrome holographics. My biggest regret is not picking these up when they went on sale - some are sold out. (If anyone is selling I Only Have Ice For You, I am lemming it!) <- Squee - it's mine!!! <3 Thank you dear friend!

Please enjoy the following release - all photos courtesy of KBShimmer.

LVX Truffle

Press Sample 
From one grey to another! The LVX Spring 2014 collection starts for me with Truffle, a much lighter taupe creme. I used a base of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and a top coat of Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That. I was really impressed with how well this polish applied.

We are having a lovely rainy season so no sun, but you can see how well this color shines - in fact, you can see my trees in the reflection of my nails! No pooling, no streaking - just nice and even polishing.  This is ALMOST my perfect grey!

In my indirect light, you can see that it's a smudge too dark for my ideal grey but man it's pretty. Reminds me of a truffle mushroom.
